908 Devices
Analysis at the speed of life. Since 2012, 908 Devices has set out to revolutionize mass spec for chemical and biomolecular detection. It’s about making things simpler. Making things that help people do their jobs better. Finding new ways to democratize technology and put it in the hands of anyone. Hear from our co-founders in this video on the fun and excitement of building an organization that grows with our technology platform.
With chemical analysis technology that crosses industry boundaries, our devices provide answers at the point-of-need in forensics, biopharmaceuticals, life science research, and more. 908 Devices is making chemical analysis simple, smart, and speedy to empower people to take swift action in life-altering applications. 908 Devices is a reference to 0.908, which is a point of stability and instability within ion trap mass spectrometers—the point at which the magic happens!
The acquisition of RedWave Technology in 2024 provides 908 Devices with an expanded portfolio of handheld chemical analysis devices for forensic workflows that quickly detect and identify unknown solids, liquids, vapors, and aerosols at the point of need. In addition, RedWave bolsters 908 Devices’ desktop portfolio with a line of accessories for pharma Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and industrial QC applications.
